Tension ran high inside "Bahay ni Kuya" as housemates and viewers awaited the results of the second eviction.
Competing for public votes alongside ChaKira were two other duos: Michael Sager and River Joseph, known as MicVer, and the team-up of Ralph De Leon and AZ Martinez, referred to as RAZ.
The announcement of who would be saved came in stages.
First, Bianca Gonzalez, one of the main hosts of the long-running reality franchise, revealed that MicVer had secured enough votes to be spared from elimination.
Their safe status was met with cheers and sighs of relief from fellow housemates.
The atmosphere grew more intense as only two duos remained: ChaKira and RAZ.
Both pairs were then directed to the eviction room, where they awaited the final verdict that would determine who would stay another day and who would be forced to leave the competition early.
When Bianca finally revealed that Ralph and AZ had been saved, Charlie and Kira immediately congratulated the saved housemates with a warm embrace.
Emotions took over as the pair processed the outcome. Both ladies broke down in tears, overwhelmed by the moment.
The official vote tally confirmed the public’s decision.
Ralph and AZ led the polls with 37.24% of the total votes, while Michael and River followed with 32.77%.
Charlie and Kira fell short with just 29.99%, sealing their fate as the second duo to be evicted from the PBB house this season.

CHARLIE AND KIRA BID FAREWELL
As the doors of Bahay ni Kuya opened once again, Charlie and Kira stepped out to face the reality of their eviction and a crowd of tearful goodbyes.
They were greeted by hosts Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Melai Cantiveros-Francisco, Enchong Dee, Gabbi Garcia, and Mavy Legaspi.
Kira struggled to compose herself, holding back tears and trying to catch her breath.
When asked what was running through her mind, Charlie took a deep breath and shared the rawness of their final moments as housemates.
“Um, we were just recalling po all of the memories we had together from the first day up until now,” she said softly.
“And we were just saying that we are so happy to walk out together po because we sleep beside each other, and it would be really hard for us if one of us came out and we wouldn’t see each other beside each other, tonight or tomorrow morning. So, we’re just so happy.”
Kira, despite her tears, mustered the strength to express gratitude to those who had supported her from the outside. Her voice trembled but carried sincerity.
“Hello! Oh my God, I’m so sorry everyone... Nakakabigla. I’m so happy to see you guys. Thank you. I love you. Thank you,” she said, waving at the audience and the cameras with red eyes and a brave smile.
The bittersweet exit of ChaKira left many of their fellow housemates and supporters emotional.
In Kuya's words: “Continue to fill the world with your light and hope ang aking Bubble Bread Teener ng Cagayan de Oro, Charlie, at ang aking Hopeful Belle ng Cavite, Kira.”
